Getting started
From download to your first note in under five minutes.
QuickPeach is a warm, customizable launcher with sticky Markdown notes that stay on top. This guide gets you from a fresh install to opening your first note.
Step 1 — Install
Download QuickPeach from quickpeach.com/download. Available for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
- macOS: open the .dmg, drag QuickPeach to Applications. On first launch, right-click the app and choose Open (required once for early builds).
- Windows: run the installer. If SmartScreen shows a warning, click More info → Run anyway.
- Linux: install the
.deb, or make the.AppImageexecutable and run it.
QuickPeach appears in your menu bar / tray when it's running.
Step 2 — Open the launcher
Press ⌥ ⇧ Space on macOS, or Ctrl Shift Space on Windows / Linux. The launcher appears in the center of your screen, focused and ready.
The hotkey is rebindable in Settings → Quick Launch if it clashes with something else.
Step 3 — Search and act
Start typing. The launcher searches your installed apps, notes, built-in commands, and utilities at once. Use ↑ / ↓ to move through results and Enter to run the selected one.
Try it: type arc or code and press Enter to launch a matching app. Type @calc 100 usd to thb to convert currency on the spot.
Step 4 — Create your first note
Type a phrase that doesn't match any result — for example, "things to finish today" — and press Enter. QuickPeach opens a sticky Markdown note seeded with your text, floating on your desktop.
Click into the note and keep typing. It auto-saves when you click away — no save button.
Step 5 — Customize how the note looks
Press ⌘ K (macOS) or Ctrl K (Windows / Linux) to open the Note Center alongside the note. Go to the Appearance panel (⌘ 3) and pick a theme color. The note updates live.
You're ready
That's the core loop: hotkey → type → act. The rest of the handbook goes deeper:
- Launcher & search — scopes, quick actions, and all the keyboard shortcuts.
- Notes — Markdown editing, the Note Center, always-on-top, and fade on blur.
- Utilities — clipboard history, timer, color picker, file search, and more.
- Account & licenses — sign in and unlock paid features.
- Shortcuts — the complete shortcut reference.
